      I agree with offering arb to DDJ.

      I might have something to post by mid-day… any angst at being usurped from top billing?

            No. Nope.

            I’m sure there’s a logical and well-reasoned argument against offering arbitration to DDJ.

            It’s wrong, but I’m sure it’s sound.

            • andeux Nov 23,2011 12:31 pm || Up

              The argument against DDJ is
              a) he was more like the 0.6 WAR player that baseball-reference says than the 2.2 WAR player that fangraphs says
              b) coming off such a bad year he’s likely not to get any attractive offers, and accept arb instead
              c) even as a good candidate to regress (in a good way) to a past performance level, the prospect of a 2 WAR player at corner outfield for $6M or so on a non-competitive team doesn’t really seem that attractive.

              We could argue the first part of that all day without getting anywhere, but the b-r number was sure closer to my impression of his play this past year.

                  Well, lots of people seem to think we need to find OF spots for some combination of Allen, Taylor, Jai Miller, Jermaine Mitchell (when he’s healthy) and maybe Cedric Hunter. Plus Sweeney is basically the same player as DeJesus.
                  I’m not super excited about any of them, but there’s something to be said for spwc’s “If we’re going to suck anyway, Jai Miller might at least be entertaining” theory.

                  My OF for next year would be Allen/Cespedes/Taylor so I prefer no DDJ.

                  B-R uses Sean Smith’s info for Batting Runs, etc but I’m not sure how he comes up with it. Also it looks like BR has him as -1 in the field, while Fangraphs had him at +7

          Rafael Soriano was traded after he accepted arbitration. Even if he accepts and the A’s don’t want him, the A’s will get something, even if it’s a Jesse Chavez.

            Man did Soriano’s agent screw up on that one. That’s probably part of why he switched to Boras last year.

    For all the talk coming out about how the new draft and IFA rules hurts small and mid-market teams… the only reason big market teams didn’t dump $15 million annual into those markets was by choice. Time and again the Yankees and Red Sox have shown that if they like someone in Latin America or in the draft they can spend the money to acquire them. The new rules do put a cap on what a team can spend in the draft, but with the slot threshold bumping towards $200 million overall (the Astros, picking 1st overall, have an $11.5 million draft pool) teams are going to have money to spend.

    • nevermoor Nov 23,2011 12:49 pm || Up

      Plus, it might help those teams spend since if they don’t hit the cap their fans will know they could have spent more

      "There's never enough time to do all the nothing you want"
    • dmoas Nov 23,2011 2:44 pm || Up

      Some of the rules seem okay, but on the whole, I’m not a fan. I’d rather see a “tax” of draft picks lost (and revenue sharing lost) for being either A) in the top 5 of payroll and making the playoffs in any year or B) being in the bottom 10 of payroll and not making the playoffs over 3 or more consecutive years. In case A, either it pays and therefore is worth it to lose a 1st pick or 2 or it doesn’t affect you and if you’re consistently up there both in the playoffs and payroll, it gives the rest of the teams a chance to catch up talent-wise. In case B, it gives you time to rebuild without spending, but it’s going to start hurting if you don’t get your shit together.

      • spwc2010 Nov 23,2011 5:45 pm || Up

        Couldn’t “B” put a team in the basement permanently with no chance to ever bounce up again?

        • dmoas Nov 24,2011 8:15 pm || Up

          Not really. Just means you have to spend some one year to reset the clock. But 3 years should be enough time to get your shit together.

  5. FreeSeatUpgrade Nov 23,2011 12:23 pm

    2. Per Deadspin, the new CBA also includes for the first time a clause prohibiting discrimination for reasons of sexual orientation. Nice.

    My read on that revenue sharing change, that the 15 “largest market” teams will be barred from being on the receiving end by 2016, is that it suggests that Bud’s about to grant the A’s South Bay access. Because otherwise there’d need to be a very meticulous scoping of the definition of market size, to account for the unique MLB-dictated subdivided market that we have in the Bay Area now. But if we’re moved to completely overlapping shared territories, as with NYC and Chicago, such definition is not required.

    • dmoas Nov 23,2011 2:46 pm || Up

      I’m “okay” with that rule. But I think in terms of determining market size, any two team region should be halved for that valuation. I don’t think the teams would change on that list, but it’s the fairer way to make that list and it could have future ramifications.

        Thanks, we like to not be too stressed about it come the actual day, and we’re having more than usual this year (17-19). . Now we’ve made the sausage & chard stuffing and creamed onions, pie dough is setting, birds are air chilling, and I’m about to start on the pie fillings (pumpkin & chocolate pecan). Still need to make the gravy, and prep for the standard stuffing. And set the tables. All good to do while watching the Sharks tonight. The mashed potatoes need to be done at the last minute, so that’s always one of the more stressful things, but other than that we should be well in hand.

    • thus sayeth the llama Nov 24,2011 10:42 pm || Up

      Your calculation assumes a x-section of 34 cm x 34 cm ie sqrt(((860,000 kg/(100,000 kg/m3))/(73 m))

      150 thousand kilos of pork. Besides the the massive amount of pork, 700 thousand kilos of tortillas, 500 kilos of tomatoes 300 kilos of onions and 20 kilos de cilantro were used to put the taco together.

      I count 150+700+500+300+20 = 1670 kg, which in a 73 m x 34 cm x 34 cm slab is 200 kg/m3, which is a fifth the density of water.

    From this morning’s inbox:

    Dear Doctor Borrill.

    I am hoping that you are prepared to look at the following theory and comment on it.

    The universal energy field is made up from three main energy types [ordinary matter] [dark matter] and [dark energy].

    The ordinary matter is made up from elementary particles which we can view as individual “bits of vibration” or [core vibrations][That is what they are].

    The other two fields, dark matter and dark energy must also be made up from individual “bits of vibration”/[core vibration] [albeit on very different scales].

    Note: We do not need to understand exactly what dark matter and dark energy are in order to state that if they are energy then they must also have “bits of vibration”/core vibration.

    So we have three very different core vibration fields that co-exist to form one multi dimensional core vibration surface/ environment.

    The result is a combined core vibration field, [environment] that together creates a “combined field effect” that biases the ordinary matters core vibrations towards the area experiencing the most combined core vibration, [locally and on the larger scale].

    We can think of the “combined” core vibration field as a multi dimensional vibrating drum surface within which the ordinary matters core vibrations are being biased towards the area experiencing the most combined core vibration.
    This is gravitation because of core vibration.
    The dark matter is also subjected to gravitation by core vibration hence the dark matter halo surrounding ordinary matter.

    Note: In reality we need to add in a forth layer of vibration [the ordinary matters self sustaining radiation]. However this cannot be described as a truly separate vibration field because it can interact with the “parent” ordinary matter vibration field [but for the most part they are separate].

    This relationship between the ordinary matters radiated self sustaining vibration field and the ordinary matter itself has a role to play in the gravitation of ordinary matter.

    Summary: The universe is one combined energy field/environment and therefore everything is playing a part so it is a combination of all four layers of vibration that creates a combined vibration field effect that together biases ordinary matter core vibrations towards the area of combined field vibration experiencing the most combined core vibration.

    Vibration is the universal constant linking the different fields of ordinary matter, dark matter, dark energy and ordinary matters self sustaining radiation.

    The result is gravitation because of core vibration.

      Sounds like a completely plausible eyes-closed acid trip and/or the basis of an episode of MythBusters in the year 2183.

        The interesting thing about these to me (and I get one every couple of weeks or so) is the lack of understanding about what constitutes a scientific theory – typically a fistful of ill-posed axioms, but no derivations or predictions of observables.

          Yeah, but they don’t know how to derive or predict or what to observe. They just have their shot-in-the-dark stabs at a Theory Of Everything. That’s what the amateurs want the most. They don’t care about the labor pains; They only want to see the baby.

          I’ll admit that I have my own Theory Of Everything, but for the most part, I treat it as a religion of one, not anything worthy of scientific scrutiny, because I know it won’t hold up in the scientific world.

    Anyone have good thoughts for online NFL streams? They don’t have NFLN here, and the Cox offices are closed for the holidays so there is no legal option.

    So we learned something about the Niners: Our OL is not elite. Our run defense is.

    I don’t think we lost many “for real” points tonight, but we definitely lost some.

    • dmoas Nov 24,2011 9:01 pm || Up

      If Gore doesn’t fall on the ground instead of standing his ground it’s a completely different game. That one hurt more than any failure of the OL. Which is sad that it can really come down to one play. The end zone interception, while bad, wasn’t as big a game changer as that. But damn is the Ravens D incredible.

      • nevermoor Nov 24,2011 9:11 pm || Up

        You mean on the Ginn TD? That’s not on Gore. He made the block, then Staley or whoever came over.

        I didn’t think we would both lose and keep our 0-rushing-td and <100 yds rushing streaks alive.

          It may be technically on someone else, but it likely doesn’t get called if Gore doesn’t go on the ground.

          • nevermoor Nov 28,2011 2:17 pm || Up

            Which is a completely legal (end effective) way to block someone 1 on 1. Which is what he was doing.

            • dmoas Nov 28,2011 3:30 pm || Up

              I’m not arguing the legality of Gore’s block. But I will say that if the guard next to him sees him on the ground and thinks he needs to help a linebacker blitzing, then it’s effectiveness is rather… questionable. Gore’s not to blame, all I’m saying is that had he chosen to block standing up, there would have been no call made.

      I don’t think you lost too many points. You played an elite team in their stadium and nearly won. I figured the more seasoned Harbaugh would win. I also would wager the elder Harbaugh won’t lose next time.

      • nevermoor Nov 25,2011 4:57 pm || Up

        I think if you give us two weeks and a neutral field you’d get a better game.

        Of course, I also think the Packers are unbeatable.

          Did I hear correctly, that was the first time a team had ever had to cross 3 time zones to the east and play in a short week?

          I mean, excuses excuses blah blah, but that is pretty rough.
